Product Description
The
Fairmount Automation Controller Series, Model 2000 (FAC-2000)
is a general-purpose, highly configurable, multi-loop process controller.Its aluminum-steel construction makes the
controller extremely rugged—it is specifically designed for operation in environments
susceptible to extreme temperature, humidity, pollution, corrosion, shock, and/or
vibration. To install the grade A shock qualified device, simply cut out
the specified pattern in your console or panel and bolt the controller in -- no
special shock/vibration mounts, supports, or brackets are required.
The
FAC-2000 digital process controller
is equipped with a wide array of I/O capabilities.It
combines the analog functionality of a standard process controller, with the digital
functionality normally associated with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC).In its standard configuration, the FAC-2000 has three analog inputs, two analog
outputs, two universal digital inputs, eight standard digital inputs, two digital outputs,
and four form-C relays. Additional I/O can
be added to the device through remote I/O points from our Chameleon
product line.
FAC-2000
controllers support the Design
Pad 2000 Professional graphical programming environments. Design
Pad technology makes setting up, debugging, and fine-tuning your control scheme quick and
easy. It also allows the device to be very versatile -- virtually every
feature from the front-panel displays to the back-panel I/O and everything in
between can have their
attributes customized to fit your needs.
The
user interface on the front panel of the FAC-2000 provides visual
information (2 bar graphs, 3 numeric displays, and 3 lines of scrolling
alpha/numeric text) and allows users instant access to the operators (i.e.
programming blocks) that were tagged settable in the controllers' program.
With the 'Set Menu' (the upper three keys) the user can easily change parameter
values, tune a system, turn outputs on or off, etc. The
'Automatic/Manual (A/M) Menu' (the three lower keys) allows an operator to
quickly change and manipulate the A/M state of one or more control loops.
The FAC-2000 also
supports the FairNET industrial
networking protocol via RS-485 and/or RS-232. This feature allows multiple
controllers to share information and, through a FairNET
OPC Server, connect with most popular HMI packages. With the
introduction of our new Chameleon product line, the FairNET network
will allow the controller to have additional remote I/O points and to be part of
a larger distributed control system.
